After this long cold winter of snowy roads it is time to dust off your helmet, tune up your bike, and get your wheels spinning! Edmonton celebrates Bike Month during the month of June. This celebration highlights all the benefits of cycling as a sport, a mode of transportation and as a way of life. Bike events will be happening daily throughout the city to promote two-wheeled transport. Here are a few things going on around town. Programs for Children – The City of Edmonton is running bike programs at many Community Leagues throughout the month. Four Wheel Drive is for ages 3-5, while Ride to Survive is for ages 6-12.
